| Yvette Mimieux, the radiant actress who created a stir in the 1960s with performances in Where the Boys Are, Light in the Piazza, Toys in the Attic and, in a history-making turn, Dr. Kildare, has died. She was 80. Mimieux died overnight Monday into Tuesday in her sleep at her home in Bel Air, family rep Michelle Bega told The Hollywood Reporter. The enigmatic Mimieux, discovered while horseback riding in the Hollywood Hills, appeared in eight movies before she turned 21 — lots of them in swimsuits — and often was cast as a wounded or sensitive woman early on. “I suppose I had a soulful quality,” she told The Washington Post in 1979 in a rare interview. "Albert, do you REALLY think you are old enough to know what love is?" "I must be Pa. I love you, I have for a long time." | |
